I've recieved a submission of some postgresql related web graphics that I was
planning to add to the graphics repository. While I was uploading them the
thought hit me that we might have a problem with some of these. First two
examples of ones that are ok:
http://xzilla.postgresql.org/layout/images/2_160x600.gif
http://xzilla.postgresql.org/layout/images/14_160x600.gif
both very nice and wonderful, but I am wondering about this one:
http://xzilla.postgresql.org/layout/images/15_160x600.gif
It uses the "photo elephant" which I not sure what the license status is. The
relevant link in the archives seems to be
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-www/2004-12/msg00290.php
but it is less than definitive since we would not be using these images on the
postgresql website per say, they would be out in the wild (though under a cc
license). I have about a dozen more of these using the "photo elephant" so
before I put them up, can I get an ok from someone?

So I guess given no response in 48 hours, I should assume that these photos
are legally poisoned? In that case can we get a new elephant photo that we
can use on the website and in web buttons? Joshua, you mentioned something
way back when about making a replacement pic, how about now?

From http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-www/2004-12/msg00283.php
"The elephant in the announcement box on the front page is a licensed
derivative work of a royalty free image, and Emily Boyd grants the
PostgreSQL Global Development Group the right to use said image on the
postgresql.org website."
"Use by PostgreSQL International sites is possible, but a right to use
must be granted by Emily Boyd for each licensee, as per the terms of the
original license on the image."
I can permit the use of the elephant in specific images (so that it can
be used on PostgreSQL International sites or in advertising), and there
is absolutely no problem with this. However, the elephant can't be
relicensed under a CC license (due to the terms of the original license
on the image).
Regards,
Emily

If we really need a real elephant... I can go to the zoo ;) Otherwise we
can easily mock up an art based elephant.
